MODERATORS
In most lemmy instances, the default feed is a mix of that instance's and popular threads from other instances. Participating in such a thread that you find spontaneously is therefore not anything resembling "brigading," even if other people on your instance also see it spontaneously and participate.
Same stuff happened on Reddit. Threads would get popular and hit r/all, people would say they were being brigaded.
I was banned from a community on Reddit for brigading once, but I had found the thread on my own and participated.
I don’t know if they actually thought I was brigading or if they just didn’t agree with me. Probably both.
